- Forrest Gump. Both rousing and incredibly sad, Silvestri’s musical accompaniment to the award-winning 1994 movie was crucial to its success. After the album was released, it crept up to No. 2 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, and stayed there for seven weeks.
- Captain America. If Silvestri’s score were accompanying anything but a Marvel movie, its old-school symphonic sound might risk feeling outdated. But it’s the combination of the triumphantly original brass melody, steady marching beat and final unexpected drum roll that makes Silvestri’s Captain America soundtrack heroic, with a perfectly-judged slice of cheese.
- The Avengers. Silvestri’s score to the first Avengers film is epically nostalgic and varied in its orchestration, beginning with a staccato bass in the cellos and double basses and moving into a glorious melody in the horns.
- Avengers: Infinity War. Silvestri described scoring Infinity War as “a really different experience than anything I’d done before, especially in regard to the approach and balancing quick shifts in tone”.
